Synopsis
WINNER OF THE BRAM STOKER AWARD - While investigating his nephew's disappearance, a man discovers a twisted web of secrets that threatens everything he holds dear in this "masterful tale of ultra horror" ( Entertainment Weekly ) from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Ghost Story . "A nuanced, layered reworking of the haunted house story."-- The Philadelphia Inquirer A woman commits suicide for no apparent reason. A week later, her son--beautiful, troubled fifteen-year-old Mark Underhill--vanishes from the face of the earth. To his uncle, horror novelist Timothy Underhill, Mark's inexplicable absence feels like a second death. After his sister-in-law's funeral, Tim searches his hometown of Millhaven for clues that might help him unravel this mystery of death and disappearance. He soon learns that a pedophilic murderer is on the loose in the vicinity, and that shortly before his mother's suicide Mark had become obsessed with an abandoned house where he imagined the killer might have taken refuge. No mere empty building, the house on Michigan street whispers from attic to basement with the echoes of a long-hidden true-life horror story, and Tim comes to fear that in investigating its unspeakable history, Mark stumbled upon its last and greatest secret: a ghostly lost girl who may have coaxed the needy, suggestible boy into her mysterious domain., A woman commits suicide for no apparent reason.
